ASUS ROG Strix G15 Gaming Laptop, 240Hz 15.6" FHD 3ms IPS, Intel Core i7-10750H CPU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, 16GB DDR4, 1TB PCIe SSD, RGB KB, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 10, G512LW-ES76

Update.... so I still love this laptop however there is one major issue. If you want to play portable (without the charger) you Cannot play in turbo mode. That means for games like destiny 2 you would get 30/50 frames. When you have it plugged in and on turbo you get in the low 100s so double the frames. Just something to think about if you are wanting to play without having to be plugged in.I have only had this for 1 day officially so I will go over first impressions and update if anything changes.1.) Performance: i have a Desktop PC with a I7-9700k and 2080 Super. It feels like equal Performance and I appear to be getting comparable FPS. The Sound is ok better then most monitor speakers.2.) Battery: while its expected on gaming laptops not on the charger running turbo you may get 2 hours (maybe) there are worse batteries out there so on high performance 2 hours is generous. If you are playing without power kick back to performance mode (you may lose some FPS) but you might get another 20-30 minutes of battery.3.) Fans: you can change the fan level extremely easy. Silent is 100% quiet. Performance mode you can hear it slightly but not loud enough to bother you. Turbo (what should be used while gaming) is noticeably loud however not as loud as other similarly priced models so I was shocked there.4.) Weight: it is very heavy. Its not so heavy that you can't transport it easily but its noticeably heavier then you would expect. Not a deal breaker.5.) RGB: if you are really into RGB this Laptop may have been made for you. RGB is nice but I bought it more for the Performance. I Generally turn RGB off but it looks great on this laptop so I left it in Static.Overall: since its only been 1 day I can't say if it's 100% worth it but after my first day I am going to say it is. I have not experienced any noticeable issues while gaming it has been running cool while under load. I would buy this again if I was still on the market.

What do I like about this laptop?-Value for money: you won't find a laptop that looks and feels this good for the price with the specs.Build quality: immaculate. It's not metal, but it's damn tight nonetheless. No screen or keyboard flex, and it feels as solid as a brick-- not overly heavy, just solidly built.Screen quality: amazing. The 240hz display really shines, and the colors are very accurate and vivid. Some other laptops in this price range only cover about 60% of the srgb color gamut, but this one is very close to, if not 100%. For a gamer or someone not doing precise art or visual editing, this is fantastic. Response time is great at 3ms.The included asus software is intuitive for the most part, but I do still have to mess around with it a little bit to master some of the more advanced settings.Thermals: the thermals are typically in a very good range, even under load. I don't own a desk, so I have it resting on my bed when gaming-- that's typically bad for cooling. However, I've kept an eye on the temps, and it hasn't yet gone into a range where I felt it was in danger of throttling. The computer itself stays cool to the touch too, with the exception of the heat vents.Fan noise: even at full speed, they're not annoying. They don't have the higher pitch that some other laptops have (ex: acer helios 300). And when you put them on silent mode? They're inaudible.The keyboard will take some getting used to, I think? But it's still good. The arrow keys are shrunk a little, and I often hit the caps lock key instead of the a key. Also-- can't find the number lock key to turn the trackpad into a touch numberpad? Not a big issue, but very confusing.The lights: very flashy! They aren't as reactive as I'd like when put into music mode, but I'm sure I'll live lol.All in all, there's a few minor things that I'm not crazy about, but I still love that laptop. 9.5/10 from me!

Overall Very Pleased:Pros:Runs pretty quite and coolTears up the Superposition Benchmark especially at laptop screen's native 1080p - I was really impressed with how it handled super realistic graphicsSetup was easy enough and also easy to register with Asus for the warrantyLighter than it looksPlacement of ports frees up the right hand side for mouse actionStreaming, Editing, Content Creation are a JOKE this machine doesn't even breathe harder when you open more apps while gaming.Cons:You really SHOULD know it by reading the specs - but no webcam. Setting up an external webcam is super easy and you can go very high quality then.When you plug or unplug while it's on it does a half second black screen. Not sure why, but fine as long as it's normal?

So far this laptop has meet my expectations for what it is. Its very easy to access the internals for upgrade, just remove some screws, no prying etc. It has 3 NVME slots which is nice, I added another 1TB to dual boot Linux. I was able to get Arch running with no issues as well.Performance wise it benchmarks well comparatively. I tried out Cyberpunk with ray tracing and ultra settings it runs very smooth. I've done some heavy duty number crunching with colmap that loads up both the GPU and CPU and the system seems to manage heat well.I'd recommend it as a solid gaming/work laptop.
